Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

jeep has used the 4L inline 6 for a long time cause it's an awsome engine. inline configurated engine last longer cause the pistons have less friction than a V configuration. in a V config engine the pistons have the friction of their own weight leaning on the cylinders, V config. puts the pistons at an angle, meaning they're going to rest-lean on the cylinders, as opposed to inline that they're completely vertical, the only friction the pistons will have is it's own up and down movement. kinda difficult to explain just by typeing.

So they claim on the factory sticker.I got the 4.7 Ram and Im lucky if I get 13mpg on the highway at about 2k rpm doing 70-75.The HEMI actually gets about 10mpg on the highway.But that doesnt matter here in Texas where gas is $1.90 for 93 octane 8)

I opted not to get the HEMI couse Ive allways had plans to turbo the 4.7.Plus the HEMI was like $4k more expensive :P.
